Case Study: Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) achieves a scalable, automated Gas FRC Hub that reduces cost and manual intervention with Software AG

webMethods helps Australian Energy Market Operator enhance Australia’s energy future

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) runs gas retail markets across multiple states and needed to modernize its Gas FRC Hub to provide a single, scalable B2B gateway. The challenge was to support adoption in New South Wales, reduce participant impact and onboarding complexity, promote industry collaboration, and cut manual handling and intervention across market transactions.

AEMO implemented Software AG’s webMethods Integration Platform to rapidly integrate systems and provide an off‑the‑shelf, resilient, secure architecture. The result was a scalable, reliable B2B hub that minimized cost and complexity for new participants, automated manual processes, supported multiple interfaces and short‑term capacity needs, and lowered long‑term operational costs while enabling standardized market operations.
